When it comes to the Westboro Baptist Church, they are truly the biggest hypocrites in the eyes of the Lord. I am no religious zealot by any stretch, though I did spend almost 2 years at a bible college, so I bring to question a few things for my friends in Topeka Kansas.

Many have asked me why the WBC does what it does and I believe it comes down to one verse in the bible: Matthew 10:22 - And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. They truly believe that since they are so hated, they are on the right track and doing the Lord's work. What these imbeciles don't understand is that they ARE hated but for totally different reasons, which are obvious.

I once heard Fred Phelps say that to "preach about the bible you have to preach hate." I always thought this was an odd statement because I can't think of once place in the bible that says hate is a good thing.

Here is what I do know about hate from the Bible:

1 John 4:20 - If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

1 John 3:15 - Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Proverbs 6:16-19 - There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

As many times as I have tried to ask these questions to members of the WBC Cult, they always dodge the question and ramble on about something totally absurd; like speaking in tongues. It just amazes me that these religious zealots do everything the bible tells you NOT to do.

For them to have their young children hold signs like, "Your pastor is a whore" is a total abomination. What person, of any religious standard, would make that kind of assumption? The irony is that Shirley Phelps, one of the elder daughters, had a son out of wedlock many years ago. Sam, the bastard child! She even admits to it but when asked, she of course thinks it's OK for her to get knocked up out of wedlock but no one else can or else they are a "whore." Hey Shirl...by your definition, what would you call someone who had a child out of wedlock? I believe you call them whores.?

Isn't it ironic that by her own definition, Shirley Phelps IS a whore?

In closing, I submit the following to the Phelps Cult Compound:

Lev.19:16-18 - ‘You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the LORD. You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.
